A WOMAN who approached a passer-by and claimed she was the victim of a sexual offence in the early hours of Saturday is being sought by police.

Police have said she appeared distressed and approached another woman in Between Towns Road, Cowley just before 1am.

Police have appealed for her to get in contact with them.

Det Sgt Wojciech Spyt said: "This woman seemed extremely distressed and I would like the woman to get in touch with officers so that we can check upon her welfare.

"The person who was approached was understandably worried about the woman, who was not known to her.

"The woman in question will know who she is and I would like to directly appeal to her to call us on 101 so that we can check you are ok and that you have access to relevant support."
